Ah, that's great!

One suggestion: Rather than having "Gatso 60" etc, can we have "Gatso in 200 yards", "Gatso in 100 yards" etc?

We're restricted to the 15 Slots so given that we have to cover Gatso, Mobile, Redlight, SPECS and also provide the option of Speed warnings it's not currently possible :lol:

The link you guys need is ... here. The one above is a bit malformed. I've posted a news item about this on the front page of that site I run...

Oh, have I missed something then?

What are "Gatso 60" and "Gatso 50" (for example) used for?

- Is there a way to set the POI warning to use the sound for the applicable speed limit in a particular area?

- Or a way to have a "countdown" as you approach the POI?

Errr. seems like it.

That's the speed limit that the GATSO is in.

Brilliant, tested this morning on the way to work and no problems at all. If I was being greedy I'd ask that the sound files be a little louder but it's excellent either way :lol:

You can make them louder yourself - just run them through Windows Sound Recorder and select 'Increase Volume' a couple of times :lol:

Sorry, missed this thread for a while.

How do I use these "speed zones" with TTM then?

Does the Camera database know what the speed limit is, and play the corresponding sound?

Which file? the data check file??

Posted

Each .wav file. Just open each one in Sound Recorder then increase the volume; it will then be saved with the new volume level. Then copy them back to the phone.

Correct me if I am wrong. But as far as I know, you can't use .wav files for POI alerts on tom tom mobile. At least not on my version.

The POI's from PocketGPSWorld came with .wavs too, maybe that is where the confusion is???

It only accepts .ogg files so a conversion is needed. Still cant find those .wav (or .ogg) files...................
